StarWarsShop launches a great new exclusive print today resurrecting the very first piece of Star Wars publicity artwork released in the summer of 1976!
This artwork, created by comic illustrator Howard Chaykin for a limited edition convention poster sold at the San Diego Comic-Con and Worldcon conventions in 1976, is now available as an extremely limited edition 16x20-inch high quality Metallix photograph printed on premium Fujicolor crystal archive digital pearl paper and signed by the artist in an edition size of only 100! To our knowledge, this is the first Star Wars collectible to be offered signed by Chaykin, making this piece especially prized by Star Wars art aficionados.
Fans of the original poster will recognize the Star Wars logo is missing -- that's because this print was reproduced from the artwork as it appeared straight from the artist, without any logos or text included. This composition would ultimately be simplified and re-drawn for the cover art of Marvel's Star Wars comic #1.
The original Chaykin Star Wars poster was allegedly printed with an edition size of about 1,000, and today is worth hundreds of dollars. This artwork exclusive has been printed in only one-tenth of that edition size, essentially making it even more scarce...and this one is signed by the artist!
Don't miss this rare opportunity to add this historical piece of artwork to your collection today, available exclusively at StarWarsShop!
